'We lay before our readers this day, the In augural address of the illustrious Chief Magis trate, with feelmgs'af puflc and satisfiiCtioiK fee yon d the power tis language to express. •If just and enlightened views—sound repub lican doctrines, and .pious aspit alums. for the’ happiness and prosperity of his country, are on- ' tilled to consideration, the address-will make a j deep and lasting impression upon tire heart of ' every .American. Reviled and tlnduced as General Jackson I has been—denounced with the epithets and do ] nuuciations of tvrant, usurper, consolidatiotiist , ' and dotard we’hail his Inaugural Addfess, as the most triumphant refutation ui all those cal umnies. Sustaining the sovereignty of thd states and the Union of the states, he stands out in the attitude of a statesman, great, wise and patriotic; and in spite of all the spleen and malice of disappointed ambition—the ranting and raving of the disaffected every whme, lx? will continue to be h filed by the great body, of the American people, as “tire man who lias filled the measure of-his cotuftry’s glory.” In conten'.pLiting the cHar'acler of General Jackson, we are irresistibly led Kick to .the hardships and privations which he has suffered ; the services he has rendered ; the perils he has , encountered, and the glory he has won for his i country, in the hour of her drstress-—in the “ day of her deepest gloom, when the bravest - doubted and the thnid despaired—where then was Andrew Jackson ? He was in the battle field of his country, winning laurels for himself mid imperishable honors to her name. Yes,'he found her sinking, “and plucked up her drown ing honor hv the locks.” “Cease Vipers, you bite against a file,” The fame of Andrew Jackson, stands upon foundations as firm as adamant, and as broad as i tho.i epuldic. Tiie splendor of his military achievments— 1 the wisdom ami patriotism of his administration, j ivUl-itkimine the pages of our future history—j long, Jong, after the names of his mushroom as- 1 sailants, shall have gone down “by die cata- j -ogue” to the dust of oblivion. While patriotism shall be regarded as a virtue I • while, virtue shall be cherished as a nobleaf- , ■ ir bute—while great talents devoted to the a-i chievemcnt of great action?, for the benefit of I pur race, shall he venerated and remembered, ! history .will place her name by the side of her i immortal Washington. Go on old pattior, to act out the pi inciples ! ’of vour address, and your country will do you justice—rand when your mortal carver-is en ded. “Close, close by the side of her hero she’ll set t.lieo, I Embalmed in the innermost-shrine of her heart.” I DIETETICS/ ; The followingis tbo’good—the spirit of the times ami the vogue for deteclic 1< ciures all considered, to keep from the read-1 e s <>f the Mercantile. We are, we .'believe, as ’ hII moving, masticating and carniverous bipeds should be, slightly addicted to mixed dishes, and , look upon a godd roasted joint with a just re-' gard to what is duo to tire importance of the ob- j ject—provided-it be tender. Hence, <i<e I ‘.cates of “parsnips and split peas,” will pardon ( us for indulging a little taste for humor in ma- ’ king the following extracts from a notice of a ! hook on “Vegetable Cookery” ima late num- ; bcr of the Loudon Atheneum.' The editor of this work belongs to a society, upwards of one hundred of whom have abstain ed from animal food from ten to twenty years. i We have heard of this society and suspect that it holds its meetings in Covent iGaiden, and ‘ that the president has a lively interest in the | S. le of pot herbs. There is a frontispiece, in- j deed, very like a fancy stall in that market. 'I he hint is clearly taken from Grimaldi’s old St- g ’ trick of building up a man df vegntablos— and the authoress has wisely, oi ‘more verbally j ♦peaking, sagely endeavored tot apply panto mine practice to ifc.il every day life, and lo sup- j port the fniman body' with somlkrout, onions,; parsnips and split-pease. “ The pernicious cus tom of eating animal food having become so ' g-•neral in this country,” site feels called upon ; to mike a stand against buttocks of beef, set I her own face against pork-shops, and lift up her [ veget ible voice in a style, enough to put A Ider- ' man Scales and his fraternity on their own ten- | ter-hooks. The lady’s chapel is evidently not Whitechapel, mid she declares mare for Tab- ( trrnacle tiiHti Mealing. Dr. Lamb very nfltu-( rally declares with her against Mutton, and Dr. Rmtlian savs “lite so common in England are in part owing to the great use of nuunal food ;” but the dear lady does not per- C five that the consumption here applies to tin Cattle, with whom it is reallv| and hereditary disease. The late Sir Edward Berry “prevail ed on a m m io live on partridges—-without ve getaMes,” bat itter eight dav’S trial ‘lie was o bl g. d:o give up the game.”' Nobody doubts , ..t_ • I -it taw long would a gfeod stiong hearty 1 ' a . nd 1 but on a diet ofpujrslain, penny-roy taragon? The Tartars, say anima! 1 , possess a ferocity of mind and fierceness OI character, which formes tiie leading features of al! carniverous animals. Begging Sir Jobfl’s p.M-d-m tie Iroteflesh has nothing to do with the m er. ATwor would be a Tartar if he only ate sorrel. The lady however goes a step te vi- >d Sir John, and declares that the eaters o* am n d food are nothing less than ilollowavs a id Haggerty’s, and that Dolly’s coop-house is us infamous as i’roberi’s cottage. She tells us —We must cease to degrade and bestalixe ow bodies by making them the bmial pl.ice for die carcases of innocent brute animals, some heal thy. some diseased, and all violently murdered! p. 3. And again p. 4. There can be no doubt therefore, that lire practice of siaugliter ing and devouring animals, has a tendency to suenghten in us a murderous disposition ami 'a • brutal nature, rendering us insensible to pity, mid inducing rrs more easily to sanction the atmedermg of« fellow creature. iSo Such thing: • " Johnson, ihs last murderer, was n gardener, f and certainly had mor«> to do with vegetables I than botcher’s mica l. The Irish, unfortunateiv adduced by the lady as examples, though they live mainly on potatoes, are not very remarka ble-fur mildness or mercy; and if this Mrs. Hei bstrewer will refer to Thurtell-’s case, she will find .that though the murderer ale pork 1 . was after the fa.QU The l.idy is a pious lady, and appeals often l to her Bible ; but professedly believes that ' real animals were let down in a sheet out ol I heaven to tluihungry aposlie. Iler version ev idently is; Arise Peter; kill that cucumber, (slay that lettuce, and stick that turnip ! Such la diet, she declares would entirely abolish the, greatest of all curses, war-, and yet, of all the ! apostles, St. Pelef was the only one recorded to have used bis words I To come nearer home. E irl Grey, puisnes' a peaceful policy : btit'does it follow that his Lordship breakfasts on leeks or dines mu cabbage and sups on-ra dishes I To be sure, rations of marigold, and marjoram might lake some cf the lights out of the lifeguards and dragoons ; but we fear, not even the lady het self could preach the Coid \ stream into living on water cresses. Holding these opinions, we shall not trouble our readeis with the prescriptions for making . vegetable messes, Lut must extract part of a ri ccpe for an omelet, winch includes a whole di rection for making a frying-pan : O inlets should be fried in a .small ’frying-pan made foi that put pose whh a small quantity of butter, p. 4. There is in the introduction,a course on spiri nous liquors, in which the veg etables of course get well watered; but the es say is only Remarkable ft»r a sbTewd suspicion by Ductor Carlyle, that no man would give a lamb, a calf, chicken or a duck, spirituous li quor with a iiope ofrendering it soon fat, even if such liquors were so cheap as to make it an economical process ; yet many patents do this by their children. The fatening of children ‘for the table, is certainly a new idea, and we [ recommend the lady to keep a wary eye on the 1 ogre-like doctor, who. lias perhaps got tired of . eiernal celery mid endive. Let her take the I Winning. Let her put « leg of mutton to her ■ trimmings, a beefstake, to “her onions, and a mutton-chop in her liish-sl'ew. It will nuke her book more saleable and her cookery muret I eatable; and besides, if she marries,'she mav I then hope for the marrow-bone and cleavers in i the evening. i FRENCH AND ENGLISH WOMEN. ' j Fiom a critical naiice of Mirabeau’s Letters ■ from England, we exupct jhe following account of the French women by that celebrated char-.’ aciei : ' ■’ Ihe drench Hu/zic/z—When a French lady j comes into a loom, the first tiling that strikes i you is that she walks better, has her head and j feet better dressed ; her clothes better fancred and better put on than any woman you have ever seen. When she talks, she is rlio art of pleasing | personified. Her eyes, her lips, her words, her ges ures, are all prepossessing. Her language is the language of umiablencss ; her accents are the accents of grace ; she embellishes a trifle’ interests upon nothing; sho softens a contra ' diction ; she takt s off the incipidness of a coin-"' ) pii.iiem j.y turui>>» ■> ulogatiily j and wtieu she I bus a mind, sire sharpens the point of an epi- I gram better than all the women in the world. Her eyes sparkle with spirit ; the most dc- I lighlfttl sallies llish from her fancy ; in tellni" | a story she is inimitable; the motions of Imr body am! the accents of her tongue, are equally gentle and easy ; an equable flow of spnghlh ness keeps her constantly good humored and cheerful, and the only object of her Lie is to please and bo pleased. J Iler vivacity sometimes approaches to folly ; but perhaps it is not in a moment of folly ihat she is least interesting and agreeable. English women have many points of superiority over the f tench ; the French are superior to them in many others. Here I shall only say, there is a particular idea, in which no woman in the world. ;■ can compute with a French woman ; it is tiie , power oi intellectual irritation. ’She will draw wit out ol a look She strikes with such, ad i dress the cords of self love, that she gives un ; expected vigor and agility of fancy, and elec j trifies a body that appears nbn-electric. Triglish Women— l have mentioned here the I women of England. I have done wrong. I j did not intend it when 1 began the letter. Tlrev came into my mind as the only women io the ■ world worthy ot being compared with those of ■b rance. I shall not presume io determine whether in the important article of beauty, form and colors are to be preferred to complexion and shape. I shall not examine whether the piquant of Francois to be thought supei ior to the touchant of England or whether deep sen sibility deserves to be preferred to animation and wit. So important a subjec requires a vol ume. I shall give a trait. 1f a goddess could be supposed to be formed Juno would be the t emblem of tae women of this country, England, j Venus as she is, with all her amiableness and , imperfections, imy stand justly enough, for an emblem of French women. I have decided ' the question without intending it, for 1 have given the perfections to the women of Eng land. b One point I bad forgotten; and it is a mate rial one. It is not to be disputed on ; for what I am going to write is the opinion and sentiment of the universe. The English women are therbest under Heaven—and shame be on the men who make them bad husbands. ' . The following facts, relative to free-masom»v in England, says the New-Oileans Abeille, have been collected in the Fiee-M isons Pocket Companion, a manual published by a brother of the Apollo Lodge, No. 711, established at Ox ford. St. Aloan the first Christian Martyr,in England, was one of the supporters of masonic mysteries , amongst the principal ones who have succeeded him, wo find the names ofSwithin, of King Alfred and of Athelstan. The first f grand -Lodge ot England was co’tect£):l Yurie, 7 I in wt coidiug to a character delivered by Athelstan. From 1155 to 11D9 this older was under the direction of the Grand Mastei of the Knights.-T r emp!ari, whoso mysteries and titles are cutittnuedAo this day. We have still more extended documents res-pecdrig a lodge held, in the reigai of Jlenry VTLI. til Canterbury, and I presided aver, by Übicely, archbishop of this 1 sect j'thesevdocuments also give the names of other masters and brothers, this was in 1429 ; afid.tljo King biptself was imitated.

Wren and Dr. Desaguliers, William 111, was a free-njason, also George IV. as well as his present majesty. In 1717 there were only four lodges in Lon don, which constituted the Grand-Lodge—- There are now masons all over the world, and they recognize each other in an instant. LITE k ARY MEN. ' By some extraordinary fatality, seem to be ‘ doomed to pecuniary embarrasment. Oliver i ' people make fortunes out of their labors, while ' ! they,Jive-and die bankrupts. Byron, wi.h the i enormus sums received for his brilliant produc i lions', ’ and with the fortunes he inherited, saw ; bis foi tune and library pass under the bailil’f’s hammer. Roscoe, too, the one wealthy—the ' talented and lamented Roscoe, was siiipt of his 'splendid library and his splendid fortune— j Moure had to quit his country on account of pe cuniary embarrassment—not a fault of his own; 'the treachery and fraud of a subordinate whom I he employed ; involved him in a debt of E£2OX)OO, we believe. And a.t last, not least, Sir Walter Scott, after his immense labors, and ■ immense income, by the failure of others, left i not a single pound for bis family, but left debts : : to the amount of £60,000, or 80,000, which will I sweep away every dung he left, and leave his unsatisfied.

HEREDITARY DEFORMITY. A French lady, Mad. D. has hid twelve children, nine boys and throe girls. ‘ One of the boys had a supernumerary toe on his left foot; another had six toes on each ♦bot.

A sister of Mad. D. Ind several children ; one of them had the su pernumerary too, she, the mother, being free from it.— Medical Gazette. GENERAL JACKSON. There s an old adage, and we are sorry to own that it is founded on too much truth, and j will apply too justly to the wayward and de | fee live character ot human nature, which reads thus—“Do a man ninety-nine favors refuse him the huudi eth, and you make him your ene my for life.” For the credit of mankind, we /lament that such an adage should ever have ! been promulgated, and we blush lor our very I Species, when circumstances occur either in 1 public or private life, which mark the existence of that “marble hearted fiend”—ingratitude. ■ And it, in our humble conception, there evei I existed a class oi people in any state or com i munity completely given over to the influences Jot this unamiable and seemingly uuatural pas sion, ii is certainly those who are now crusad . ing al ihe south against the character, honor and populaiity of our present Chief M igistrale, Gen. Andrew Jackson. Their course since the promulgation of the President’s “raw head and bloody bones. Proclamation, has com pletely changed fiction into fact, and realized j the speculations of the poet, when he says, ‘ He that doth public good foi- multitudes, Finds few that are truly gratefat.” These individuals, not content v'ith con demning that alone which is objectionable in ; the Proclamation, consign tire good ami bad to gether, into one common receptacle, and hold them forth to die people as the odious offspring of military tyranny, despotism and corruption ! And it is the President of dreir choise—lie who ! has twice saved the south from foreign and do ] mestic foes he who has thrice intervened his i mighty arm, and said to federal encroachments, •thus tar shalt thou go and no finther; and i lie who achieved for Georgia, and put her j m possession of that, which no other man in ex istence could have accomplished, under the , same circumstanci s, viz: her right of soil, ju risdiction and possession of the Cherokee coun , try—-who is thus stigmaiizeil, and by Georgians | too 1 ! Yes, for errors which may have emanat ied from the head' and not die heart —-for the : committal of one act deserving censure, in a . I long life devoted to his country, in die field and in tin? cabinet-—would the alarmists and dis organizers of the day make his name a bye word and reproach throughout the world.—- And w hat, we would enquire, has brought the hostile denunciations of these men upon die head of Gen. Jackson? Is it the speculative , opinions contained in his procl imat ; on, on ihe subject of the furm-ition and origin of the Fed eral Government ? No, they will say. Gen. Jackson should rot be denounced as a trai tor or Tyrant for exerc ; sing the right of opinion. Is it because he warned the people that he ! would be compelled to fulfil his obligations un der the Constitution,and “see that the revenue laws were enforced in that state?” No, they • will say, this was his duty whilst South Caro- Hinii claimed to be a ,'mcmbei of the L'uiun. ? Is it because he*i denied that botlth Camlitia could c.onsfitutie’Wally and peaceably secede from the Unioh t<t her .pleasure ? Yes! will be the reply—-“llte.’Tyntnt has threatened to co erce a sovereign slate, and hold her as bound to ihe Government!” This, then, is die sum au'd ' substance of his offence—this it is 4 that has cancelled the great debt'due'him by a’ oncu grati'fid- people, and changed -*Ue the hero inl-o ihe tyrant and the poltroon ! But if this sentiment possesses such wondcr woiking nfagic as to change in toto the nature I and characibr tfl Andrew Jackson, how is it {lh it Jefferson and George M. Troup ato tint j affected by it in the same way ! Is J< fl'ersoiHs ; memory branded now by them with th’e opi-. diet of Traitor, dr Troup’s character yvilli. that of Tory? And yet they both believe with . Jackson, that a State has no .right constitu tionally to secede from the Government. Hear what Mr. Jefferson says in a letter to John Taylor, which may be found at page 393 and 3d vol. ot his memoirs: • • “Be this as it may, in every free and deli- j berating society, there must from die nature of man, be opposite parties and violent dissensions and dicords, and one of these for the most part, must prevail over the other for a longer qr shorter time. Perhaps this parly division is. necessaiy to induce each to watch and relate lo the people thq proceedings of the other.-? ! But if, on a tempoiafy superiority of the one parry, the other is to resort to d secession of the \ Union, ho federal, government can ever exist. It to rid ourselves of tiie present rule of Mas sachusetts and Connecticut, we break the Un- ; ion, will the evil stop there? Suppose the ! New-England States alone cut off, will our na ; lures be changed? Are we not men still to the ■ South of that and wit!: all the passions of men ? i Immediately wa, shall see a Pennsylvania and j a Virginia parly atise in the residuary cottfed-| eracy, and the public mind will be distracted ■ with the same pat ty. What a game too Will | t?R one party have iti their hands, by eternally threatening the. other, that unless they do sd ; and so, they will join their northern neighbors. If we reduce out. Union to Virginia and»Not(h ! Carolina, immediately the conflict will be es tablished between tiie representatives^!'thesce two s.ates, end they will end by breaking into their simple units. Seeing, ihetefore, that an I association ot men who will hot quarrel with '! one another is a thing which never yet existed, ; from tiie greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry; seeing that we must have somebody to quarrel with. I had ! ratherkeep our New Engl >ud associates for that j purpose, than to see our bickerings transfet ed i toothers—a little patience and we shall see the | reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolved, and the people recovering their true sight, ie- ■ storing their government to its true principles.” Here it wdl bo seen that Mr. Jefferson, in stead ol advocating secession at that gloomy period of our Nation-I existence, rather en courages that, as a blessing to the country, which the nulltfiers ate now resolved to make the instrument of its destruction, viz; party feel ing and sectional differences. And as to Geo. M. Troup, he clearly denies the right of'<*on-' siitutiomd secession, because the'Conditions j which he prescribes to the seceding§l;ito are ! entirely bey iml her cAntrol.-' ,We slay it, and ; we say it without the fear of pontradiciion-, that ! there is noi a Slate in the,Union w|iich could i secede peaceably, on the terms prescribed by I Governor Tronp--;not one of them could pos- , sibly leave ihe Union without affecting in some way oi other the Sovereignty of some one of i the others, cither us regards way, intercourse | or commerce. ! The truth is, Gen. Jackson must be put ; down before the “peaceful and constitutional” . doctrine oi Nullification can succeed. And i hence the hue and cry on the subject of the Proclamation.' it is true there are things in it we hold as objectionable, and it was unfortun | ate as to time and temper; but whore is the man : unwarped by die prejudices of Nullification, | who could coolly and deliberately “damn to everlasting fame” for the commilta-l of a single ' error of judgement, a man whose life has been 1 spent in the service oi his cuutiii v-- j a man who ' Mr. Jefi-rson himself declared, “bad tilled the measure of Ins countiy’sglory’” Vie warn the peopl'o of Georgia against these wholesale de nouncers of General Jackson. It is but the last expiring efl.irt to arouse you into hostility against your government, and to enlist you in the cause of infatuated Carolina [ Condemn I what you cannot approve in the Biesident’s j Proclamation, and in doing so have charity, tor ,he is but a min, a-nd who is peifect ? And I never, oh f never forget, that he his been, and | still is, your last fiiend—the friend of m inkind, and the friend of his whole country. Remem ber that at one time the father of his. country’ the great Washington too, was stigmatised as traitor and cowaid because, as executive of the United States, he had the independence to sign a treaty with Great Britain, which recind ed his country from the machinations of tbe Jacobins of Paris, and their emnrissaties in this country, the monsters who were then bathing the plains of Beautiful Fiance in (he blood <H her children. Remember, too, that they and their slanders, have long since been consigned I to etein d infamy and disgrace, whilst the name ' of Washington his only fairly started on that 1 splendid career in which it is destined, as it pas ses down the stream of time, to gather from i age to age, new brilliance and new beauty, un til time and it together, shall have been merged ' in a glorious etci nity. Remember, too, that he who so much re sembles the father of his country in firmness, I independence and devotion to his counti v—it-J , second saviour, Geneinl Jackson, is now con tending against the same spirit of discoid and disorgamz itioii, which biought down on the tread of \\ ashington the anathemafrof many who claimed to he American citizens; an'f re'mem ber that the transactions of (he present day, like those el ’95 will become the property of posterity ; and, oh : let not our names go dowuf linked with those who are now . muhinr/ the fame of the Freneau’s, the B.tche’s and the Calenders of,l Consliiutiyhalic't ■ • 7u thz Citizens of Spartanburg District. , Manc.hesteh, February 20. r J 0 enacting section of the Ordtnanco ?l • ' November last, does no mure t ian Uneaten a future conditional secession of . to state. And I have avoided addtessing you upon that most interesting topic, until convic- -i lion should have come home to my understand the ci)ci <iii(] object. « ’ j '’"“ctmcht would be inconclusive, without some further act of the convention. But as 1 can have <m longer miy doubt what that, act is to be.ybu have,claims to my opmiotr,' as a partof'ttie high .trust confided to my tiire, ■ jby your delegation.

J're it is'risen, sometimes paints its image l ( lu the atmosphere—so often ddth th.e spirit Os grbat events stride on before the events; And in to-day already walks to-morrow,” There is a moral truth in those lines; and-t would lead you to enquire whether to-morrow’s deep change is not already reflected back upodt us, from the familiar occurrences of (O-cl ays . Are you for the State! This questionai I now going the rounds at our reviews, mustcfS), &c. And every honest Carolinian , as a matter of course, that he is for Lis land. And upon doing so, he is called on td volunteer for the stale. Let us therefore un derstand the Jute meaning oi this question-, as jit is used by those who urge us upon such.ac casiohs. You well know that nullification wa3 concealed—first, under a cry for State Rights, tinder the pretence that it was constitutional land peaceable, civil, not military. Thus dis (guised, nullificatio'u was introduced and became / popular; and the Ordinance of24th of Novetn j bur took place, with test oaths, and eventual j secession. This was a great step. Bu\ every I sagacious mdlifier knows, that to assemble in a.ms, ia order to oppose the federal laws while i we remain subject to the federal government, j would be treasonable ; and treason would put ■ ev.ery man concerned in peril br ignominy. It ; then follows necessarily, that the secession of :■ the sta'e is indispensable to the completion of null lication—but the people abhor the very .( idea of such an act. scheme of electioneer j ing must, therefore, be adopted to bring their minds up to the point of secession, as was be fore done, to bring them to the nullification set forth in tl.c Ordinance. How is this to be done ? - To be for the state, properly means ‘‘for tho state,” in the union, under both the federal ami stale constitutions. The state is made up of those two governmental compacts. The people must the» be taught to believe-that the state and the United States are already in op position, and they are to be persuaded to go “lor the state,” in the spirit of patriotism, and as an act of paramount duty. Not a word is uttered of going for the state out of the Union* but every man who understands correctly, will perceive the whole meaning upon a little rc* flection. IL you volunteer, you will do it upon the concealed assumption (hat tho state is in oppo-. .sition to the United States, andyou will have taken, unwittingly, not merely a step, but a j stride towards secession'. Thousands perceio !it not at the moment. But in a little time you will be told that you have already decided in ! lavor of secession, and you will fqel it, unless j your resolution be strong. What then is the only proper answer to the question, when fhir ly undeistood I It is, lam for the state in tin. Union, as erected by ihe federal and state con stitutions; and therefore, I will not volunteer either lor the state, or fur the United Slates, as distinct government-. ‘I will do no act what ever to lurther electioneeiiug, and bring about a secession, i will give no pledge, but wait un-s biassed, for the ultimate question of secession, which will shortly be put ..to the vote of the people I say shortly. For nullification with* out secession would be ; childish and rediculous, delusive and abortive.. And, therefore, tho question of secession must be put as the neces smy completion of imllificatimn. Men who have attended to the.subject ktjpw it. Mr. E’alhomi’s nullification is, and always.'was, ei ther “steel diet dr arrant quackery.” > Upon the right of a state to secede, I will ■ not deceive you. I hold no decided opinions upon the posture of the state, ever since its (burgers from nullification, but what 1 have i hankly avowed, and published when the occa sion called for it, without regard for the party i side or tendency of (hat opinion. I have thought secession the right of all parties to confederacies of independent stale—the trus conservative principle,” and a necessary < heck upon majorities ; but to be practised on ly in event of intolerable oppression, and to pi even' bloody revolutions. The reason for the opposne opinion- I ,admit to. be Weighty, and the difb rrnce arises probibly from an original bias m my mind towards a more popular rath er than a stronger Government. But to rc , "irn to the subject practically. How is seces- I ston Io be man iged in the piescnt instance? I ‘ w!i'l7- S |.‘ l ( iimVS: r’ 1 ' i,e Sta, ° Ct ‘ lJ ventiou.
